CEO commentary

U.S. Bancorp Chairman, President and CEO Andy Cecere said, “In the fourth quarter, we reported diluted earnings per share of $0.99, excluding $(0.50) of notable items. This quarter we generated net revenue of $6.8 billion and increased our tangible book value per share to $22.30, an increase of 7% linked quarter. Full year results showcased solid fee revenue growth, prudent expense management, and the accretion of common equity tier 1 capital of 150 basis points, giving us a CET1 ratio of 9.9% as of December 31, 2023. We also met our goal this year of achieving full run-rate cost synergies of $900 million with the Union Bank acquisition.

Looking ahead, we are making good progress on revenue growth opportunities with Union Bank and effectively managing the balance sheet for continued capital-efficient growth as we maintain our disciplined, through-the-cycle approach to credit risk management. In many ways, both fourth quarter and full year results highlighted the benefits of our well-diversified business model, enhanced scale, and operational resiliency, as we remained focused on delivering shareholder value.

In what has been a meaningful year for the Company, I want to thank all of our employees for their valuable contributions and dedicated efforts to best serving our clients, communities and shareholders.”
